A few years ago I also took the GMAT. I looked at part-time programs at the two big schools in my area, U of Michigan and Michigan State. When I visited U of M I was completely blown off. Their attitude was that they should automatically be my first choice school. During the B school tour, no one was able to answer any of my questions about the part-time program. I even called their office after and never got a response.

The reception I got at MSU could not have been more different. They really made me feel like they wanted me there, and based partly on this, that's where I went (I recommend the Weekend MBA to anyone looking for a program!). But then, after I had already committed to MSU, I started getting form letters from U of M's B school. I have attempted at least 5 times to unsubscribe from their letters, which I continued to get up to a month before I graduated from MSU (yes, two years later!).

If U of M made a mistake by blowing me off at first, they compounded it by harrassing me later.

I hope you're not planning on majoring in Business "Communications". although, if you must take a bus. comm. course you could bring in this form letter as an example of how not to communicate with other. hehe.

Hey it's better then the email I got from a accounting software company alerting to a critical update that went to several people and all emails had somebody else's first name.. at least they did notice it and send an apology but was pretty funny..especially since they probaly used 1 of their software products to send out the emails and fill in the names..
